I dunno about that voting thing. When I voted in Skiatook, there was a woman in front of me in line who had a tiny, fussy baby. She had to have someone hold the baby while she voted because she wasn't allowed to have anyone in the voting booth with her, including the baby. That meant she had to have a total stranger hold her baby. She was pretty tense about it, but an older, grandmotherly type volunteered and it went fine.
Also, a huge discrepancy between exit polls and tallied polls would cause a recount. Though of course the plan is for there to be a nuclear bomb go off, so they'd never get around to that. Although I have to say 64% isn't *too* high.
The weirder thing about DL was how he killed Linderman. Albeit very cool, I can see him getting his hand into someone's head, keeping his wrist in 'morph mode' but making his hand a real presence in Linderman's brain, which is fatal. But then he pulls his hand out and leaves a big hole in Linderman's skull. So his abliity effects what he's morphing into/around which I don't recall it doing before this point.
Dear Lord, they had their lights on? I think you're right. That's really tacky. "We have a prisoner! Clear the road! Oh, hi, Sylar. We were just lighting the way for you-"
"Pop" might be a publicity thing, you know how Nathan is. I always found it...odd how Mom was "Ma" but Dad was just...Dad. I suppose "Pa" would be too southern or back-woodsy or whatever. I think the "Ma" is cute and both boys use it. Sylar uses 'mama' and 'mommy' which is also very sweet. Formally, I have Sylar use 'Mother/my mother' not that anyone asked.
I try to have Peter use 'Ma' when speaking to her in an emotionally engaged way, same for thinking of her. So for normal casual usage, it's 'mom', for formal usage, it's 'my mother', but when he has a lot of emotion it's 'Ma' unless it's taking a detour to an attempt to distance himself from her, which is when he calls her Angela or 'my mother'. 'Ma' is usually only used when speaking directly to her or to Nathan about her.
My mother had a hang-up about 'mommy' and we were forbidden to call her that. "Mama' was also discouraged. 'Mom' was allowed. My dad was 'Dad' with no 'Daddy' allowed either.
Very occasionally in MBU, I use 'Angela' or 'Arthur' for reasons of clarity. I recall doing that because it wasn't the term Peter wanted to use, but it was the one that made the passage more readable so I overrode the muse.
I guess I always assumed Molly’s power only worked on specials because that was it’s primary mention and function but they probably found Claire and Bennet using her and Bennet doesn’t have powers
( ... )
GB has the theory that I agree with and have adopted - that people’s abilities ‘develop’ from their deepest desire - Nathan wants to avoid/fly away, Peter wants to be a hero as does Hiro (supposedly) and Angela, Sylar wants to understand and fix things, Claire wants attention. That said, with that in mind, how does Molly and Micah’s abilities fit into that? Micah’s not particularly tech-y and why would you always want to be able to find people? What’s Maya/Alejandro’s biggest desire? Kinda weird but they’re not main characters by any standards so I think it’s fairly forgivable for their character/goal/ability not to fit with the theory
( ... )
Maybe Micah wants someone to talk to whose always there, like the machines are? Maybe Molly's ability stemmed from her wanting to know where her parents were, or where the bad guy was? Maya is simple - she wanted to poison everything. She just felt terribly guilty about it. Alejandro wasn't developed enough to say what he was all about.
I still don’t see how it’s possibly to arrange a marriage, a lasting one at that, and breed a specific power from two specials. It’s a nice thought and a scary plot device, though.It would only work if you knew that power A (phasing) plus power B (hulking) tended to equal power C (talking to machines). Which makes no sense, but little else does in Heroes. On the other hand, they don't have to understand the biology of it. It might be that they know from precognition that the child of A and B will have C, or maybe from Kaito's probability power they know the same thing is very likely. It seems unlikely that Niki went in for fertility treatments that would have allowed the Company to insert her with the

The police officer who saved me from the boogy-man. But I thought the boogy-man was Maury Parkman?
As much as I love the tense standoff over Molly, it's very stupid. But whatever.
On to Sylar and Ted! Why does the swat van have their lights on for routine prisoner transfer?
Though apparently DL can do that moving-around-off-screen thing, too, even while he's clearly in Linderman's line of sight.

OMG I'd forgotton about him, now that's a very creepy man!

Yeah, that does not make sense.

Odd for someone who is supposed to have canonically taken perfect memory.
